Love's Haunting Dreams

If I never knew the beauty you hold
would my foolish heart now be so cold?
Had I never known your loving ways
would I ever know such sombre days?
Had I never shared your fancy flights
would I ever know such lonely nights?
Should I wish that we had never met
that I dream no dreams of you Janette?

Haunting memories of a young love lost
remaining within me as a jealous ghost.
Masking thought and a new love found
leaving my heart aching without a sound.
Finding a kind of peace yet still afraid
the mask might fall and end my charade.
The harsh cycle gous on forever it seems
always returning, love's haunting dreams!
